A bit of a daft laddie (for so we call them here is Scotland) task that, surely? That said, you didn't actually describe the nature of the work. Is close supervision not an option? Do we really need to do a R/A to arrive at that conclusion?

Rich I suspect you have a major problem here. If my child was being supervised in a sports changing situation and on trips by someone without any checks to verify they are free from applicable offences I would raise all kinds of hell and I suspect very many other parents would too. Risk assess that!

My personal view is that they shouldn't be managed without a CRB, why should we allow children to be exposed to possible abuse just because workers are coming over from another country. For me it would be tough luck until you have your CRB clearance.

roshqse No the GAPS are not employed because they are cheaper - there is a GAP exchange every year between the two schools allowing for some travel and cultural experience for those young people involved. Rich

In the real world a police caution for a minor offence would be entered. And an enhanced check would include not only all convictions since age 18, but also any relevant information even if no conviction resulted. Revealing such information to the applicant would be an offence. Note also that requesting an enhanced check if not needed would be an offence.

Thanks everyone Problem solved Rich

Hi David Simply read the rules as under: Criminal Records Checks (now called DBS) for Foreign Nationals. These checks are required for all candidates that, at the time of recruitment, have been in the UK for less than six months. This includes all foreign nationals, and EEA citizens. If the candidate provides a foreign Police Check, it must be dated no more than three month prior to their leaving their home country. If the document is not in English, it must be accompanied by a certified translation. All Police check documentation should be verified with the originator. These checks should be carried out in addition to CRB checks; the former to obtain clearance for the period before the individual came to UK and the latter to cover the period since they arrived in UK. You should assume that all applications will require full name, dob, current address and previous addresses in the country of original. Where additional information is required it has been included in the info. Australia: Police checks can be applied for through the Australian Federal Police website, www.afp.gov.au. The six Gap Students have all been police checked and we have the paperwork - all are within the 3 months period. DBS applied for and will be in place shortly after their arrival - which will mean some supervision for first few days and a restriction on some duties they can perform. Alls well that ends well. Rich
